Chapter Twenty-Nine: Enemies Meet (2nd Watch)
(NEW)
After Jin Rong left, Gu Li's life was the same as always, but there were twice as many guards around Xiaolou, and it seemed that he also felt that something would happen. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The weather in Yunguo is warm, but it still snows a little in winter, and it is precisely because there is not much snow that festivals are held at the beginning of the snow to pray for the coming year.
Originally, this was presided over by the queen, but Jinrong did not establish a queen, so every year it was presided over by the mother of the prince, Concubine Cheng.
There are many kinds of blessing rituals, and they are relatively simple, that is, each family prepares a little bit of their own food in their home and puts it into a container, and then worships the heavens, implying that they hope that the heavens will give them these foods.
After the worship, the food is distributed to other people and exchanged with each other, which is called Nafu, which is both to give good intentions to others and to receive blessings from others.
If she doesn't care about Yunguo, but for such a big festival, she still prepares according to the customs, and the maids around her are also very concerned about this, and Aunt Hua, who is in charge, told her about the process of this matter.
It is not difficult to sacrifice, but there are no neighbors around the small building where they live, so they need to go out to exchange food.
In everyone's opinion, the matter of praying for blessings is very important, so let Gu Li, under the protection of the guards, go to the surrounding villages to exchange food together, and in the palace, many royal families are also like this, and they will go to their own Zhuangzi to receive blessings from each other.
I didn't feel that it was inappropriate, but I also wanted to go out for a walk.
The sky was scattered with scattered snowflakes, and the air was cool, and she was wearing a goose-yellow piping cotton shirt today, and a silver cloak with purple orchids embroidered on it, which looked very cute.
When they arrived in the village, the farmer thought it was a young lady from a family, so they took the initiative to exchange food and enthusiastically left her to eat.
I don't think it's strange to take care of the maids, the custom here is like this, they eat a big pot of rice happily, and everyone will have a good year in the coming year.
Snow is the happiest day in Yunguo.
Cook a large pot of porridge with the food everyone brought, and then prepare some simple side dishes, and this is a meal.
Because it was a festival, Gu gave some silver, and asked the farmers to prepare more for the accompanying guards, but the farmers did not receive it, saying that this kind of rice should be delivered.
After eating, she took the guards back to the small building, and felt a little sleepy as soon as she got into the carriage, and the maid brought her a small charcoal stove, and the carriage was very warm, so she fell asleep on the cushions.
Suddenly, the carriage jolted, and Gu suddenly woke up, and reached out to hold a saber he was carrying, could it be that they were going to do it?
Gu pushed the maid next to him, but there was no reaction, he stretched out his hand and sighed, he didn't die, it seems that there was something wrong with the meal just now.
Before she got into the car, she felt stuffy hair, so she took a pill, so the toxicity of the drug was relieved a little, she listened carefully to the movement outside, and after a while, there was the sound of fighting.
Gu picked up the sword and went out, wanting to take the opportunity to leave, and when Jin Rong came back, she couldn't be blamed for running away.
What's more, she won this bet.
But when she lifted the curtain, the scene she saw was very shocking, there were more than a dozen people in black around, although the guards were also carefully selected by Jinrong, but they were obviously poisoned, and they had no strength.
When the men in black saw her, they seemed to have found their target and ran straight to her.
Gu quickly took a pill to strengthen his strength, drew his sword and began to fight the enemy.
In about a quarter of an hour, she found an opportunity and jumped into the woods, shaking off the man in black behind her.
She had just run a little when she saw a woman with messy hair running wildly through the woods, muttering some words in her mouth.
Gu took a few steps back, not understanding the situation here.
Then four men in black appeared, tied the woman's hands and feet with ropes, and then quickly switched places, tying the woman to a thick tree.
The woman hung her head and cursed, and at this time, a man in black appeared in front of her, holding a whip, and slapping the woman over and over again.
I can't stand it, but I don't know what to do.
The woman raised her head suddenly, looked up to the sky and shouted: "It's all you, it's all a demon girl like you!" I won't let you go! ”
When Gu saw the woman's appearance, the whole person stood there, this person turned out to be, Empress Dowager Yi!
Gu felt that he was dreaming, now it is Yunguo, how can there be a Empress Dowager Yi? And those concubines or people from Yunguo want to target her, and it has nothing to do with Empress Dowager Yi, not to mention that she and Empress Dowager Yi have always been at odds, what are you doing now?
Just when she was distracted, suddenly a hand put on her shoulder, Gu jumped up suddenly, and the man stood on one side and smiled seductively.
"Princess Mu, I haven't seen you for a long time, do you still like the gift that this king gave you?" Baili Shuo looked at her proudly.
All this made Gu feel creepy, what is Baili Shuo doing here?
"Prince Yao came all the way to Yunguo, just to let me see how you tortured Empress Dowager Yi?"
"Of course it's not just these, it's just that you and I hate her so much, such a good show, this king will definitely pull you to watch it together, don't worry, the Empress Dowager Yi will be beaten to death by me later, or, this king will give you a chance to let you do it yourself?"
Baili Shuo raised his hand, and the man in black threw a whip to Gu Yu's side.
Gu didn't pick it up: "I don't like this kind of whip, it just brings some flesh and skin pain, since the prince gave me this opportunity, then thanks to your kindness, I will send the queen mother a ride." ”
Baili Shuo smiled, the black-clothed man who whipped Empress Dowager Yi just now stepped back, stood in front of Empress Dowager Yi, and looked at her with her hair scattered, covered in blood.
She hated her, but she never thought it would be like this when they met again.
Gu took care of the whip she brought, which was built by Baili Muyan for her before, because it was used as a belt, so no one found out, she took off the whip and swung it hard, the rope that bound the Empress Dowager Yi was broken, and the Empress Dowager Yi fell and knelt beside the tree.
"Princess Mu is trying to save her? You treat her with elixir, and she gives you arsenic, have you forgotten what she did to you? ”
Baili Shuo didn't seem surprised, what he hated the most was that he didn't dare to hate or love such a person.
"I hate her, and I remember how much she wanted me to die, but that doesn't mean that I like to take revenge on her in an abusive way, now I have nothing to do with her, I will remember her for the rest of my life, she is not enough for me to hate for a lifetime."
"Oh? You really have nothing to do with her, but there is someone who has a relationship with you, Empress Dowager Yi wants to kill you, but your life is big, you didn't die, but you are not the only one who has a life in her hands! In my opinion, she dies a thousand times or ten thousand times without resentment, so I want to abuse her and make her worse than death. (To be continued.) )
